[PGT] Loss to LA 2-1 in extra time, three times in a row

[djsFlames]

No offence to DC but why did Treliving hire someone who has no history of being able to work even an average PP, to handle the PP?

Some decisions have been great but nooooooo logic in that one, whatsoever.
And now they're loyal to this dude despite game after game of absolute suckage and minimal adjustment. What gives. Does DC have copies of someone's naughty photos?

Game would have been over if Tkachuk doesn't Buckner that pass to him alone in the slot.

Tonight was not a great night but he's been really good this season at not making the boneheaded mishandles

I think that is every team’s system given how crucial the loser point has proven to be.

Lol that is a pretty funny way of looking at it. Shaping out to be one of those moveable object vs stoppable force battles.

That's the difference. And I just don't see the point in the latter.

I only complained about the passing on the powerplay. What makes you think you were the only person here hoping for that second goal? We all were. Some of you need to realize that you aren't going to have a forum where everyone is holding hands singing kum ba yah. It's getting pretty bad around here as you almost have to walk on egg shells as heaven forbid a poster having a different view of the proceedings as yourself.

If he is as bad as what you continue to harp on, what offense do you think he will bring back? Like you said, he is what he is, then do you think you will get back a ppg player?

Why do all the forwards except the 1st liners suck so bad at offense and finishing???

Thanks for another whiney PGT thread title. Is it so hard to just write [PGT] Kings 2 Flames 1 OT? Yeah, I'll get twenty replies to this saying how I have nothing better to do than complain about a title but honestly, it is annoying AF reading people's personal opinions in the title of a thread meant for the entire forum to discuss the game that was just played. While we're all pretty frustrated it is probably better for you to bitch in your first post rather than set the tone for everyone else with a dumb title.

Same can be said for [GDT] and [GT] with anything but Flames @ Team or Team @ Flames with maybe a start time and network info. Some people do an amazing job while others just seem to want a few chuckles from a dumb title.

The crazy highs and lows people express in this thread. It can’t be good for their health. Seriously.

The Kings were playing to win the game when it was 1-1. They played the whole period in our end. I think we iced the puck 8 times.

Offence will always be an issue up front. Brodie needs to go along with a D prospect to fix this.

BECAUSE GULUTZAN IS TOO RIGID AND HE PLAYS BROUWER TOO MUCH

Get with the program, bub.

I thought that Gaudreau/Tkachuk in OT was an interesting wrinkle but ultimately I do not like it as Gaudreau had to expend far too much effort on the defensive side of the puck when tkachuk is out there.

I hope Tkachuk is able to work on his footspeed a bit over the next couple of years, dynamite player but can be a tough nut to crack situationally about where and how you play him.

Calgary @ Chicago at the start of last season was like that. I think the Flames were sitting at 5% on the PP but Chicago was only at 50% on the PK early in the year. Justin Faulk had more powerplay goals than the Flames did at this point. It was bad.

Calgary scored twice and probably saved Cameron's job

Too bad

[topfiverecords]

What was Brodie doing in OT? Chipped it in deep twice and handed them possession for free.

It's also showing in the form of Bennett's contributions.

Part of it too is that plays are dying on Hathaway's stick.

All 3 of them have cooled off at the same time.

We play a system that discourages offense.
